Goodbye, Hacker News. I'm going back to Reddit.

Most content on Reddit seems to be generated by about 5 people who either post as much as they can from whatever feeds they're subscribed to or whatever pulls people's strings. At the moment this is usually stories about how the cops are utterly corrupt and how Fox news totally sucks.

Why? It's not like they discuss the story or you actually get prizes for a high karma?

Nowadays I prefer finding a page edited by someone who shares similar interests as me e.g. boingboing or hackaday. Otherwise things just degenerate into "FUNNAY PIC [LOL!]" quickly.

Maybe rather than have a single pool of submitted stories, you could chose whose stories show up on your page.

You can. Go to your preferences, click on 'friends', and add the nicknames of all the posters you like. Then go to friends.reddit.com, and you'll only see submissions from those people. This feature came out about a half a year ago, IIRC.
